Quest for Exceptional Love: Transform Your Love and Relationships Through Christ’s Love Design

“The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just as you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was [is] part of your own transformation” (Anthony Gucciardi).

 

This book is a true work of heart. Darla takes her complicated and often painful experiences and shares honestly and unashamedly to help Christians struggling with their own cocoons. Her ability to gently present the lessons she’s learned, and the truth of God’s true and perfect love in her brokenness offers hope and healing.

 

Darla’s story reveals there is no one-size-fits-all, seven easy steps to do this, and no self-help book. She illuminates Christ’s truth to see his love design as we walk our unique life’s journey of transformation with him. Reflecting God’s love as the foundation of her life, Darla asks the tough questions:

 

• What is a love design?

• What is our love design?

• What is the perfect love design?

• What difference would it make in your life and relationships if you could live in perfect love?

• How do you move from your imperfect love design to Christ’s perfect one?

 

Come and walk with Darla and work through this life-changing experience of becoming and embracing God’s design for your life. Laugh and cry as Darla shares her personal trials and triumphs in her quest for true love, for herself, and her purpose. In your journey, you may discover Christ’s exceptional love for you!

Under the Staircase: Hearing God’s Voice in the Darkness

Under the Staircase: Hearing God’s Voice in the Darkness is a spiritually stirring memoir of one woman’s journey to find her self-worth despite the obstacles put in her path by her parents, her abusive husband of thirteen years, and herself. Her mother’s depression and her father’s long absences in her childhood left her feeling disconnected and abandoned. In a life-altering moment at age six, Darla found herself in complete despair. In the darkness she heard the voice of her heavenly Father promising He would never leave her—a promise that became the unshakeable cornerstone of her faith when the rest of the world seemed to crumble around her.

 

Holding on to the promise didn’t make her life easy, but it did provide her hope when she needed it most and a determined faith as she grappled with the challenges of adulthood. Darla’s story is an ingenuous and compelling tale of human vulnerability, the power of forgiveness, and the guilt that gnaws at her for not fleeing with her sons sooner.

 

Walk with Darla through her life and discover, or perhaps remember, the light you have been seeking—a light that beams at the edge of all our dark places and gives us reason to keep going, reason to hope. A light that will help you develop a determined faith not just to survive, but to thrive in your life.
